Last weekend before the Superbowl, I had a hankering for brownies.  Since starting my gluten and {mostly} dairy-free diet, I haven’t done a ton of baking…especially desserts.  Honestly, these are not frugal at all.

But.  They.  Are.  Delicious.

What I like to remember is that these are a treat.  Not something we have very often, but something I made special for a special party day.  They are so rich tasting that a little bit goes a longggggggg way!

Double Chocolate Gluten-Free Brownies

(Recipe adapted from Simply Gluten-Free)

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips (these are my favorite!!)
• 1 cup room temperature butter
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup organic coconut palm sugar
• 6 T. cocoa powder
• 2 T cornstarch or tapioca starch
• 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

1)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place parchment paper in a 9″x13″ glass baking dish (or use a silicone dish).

2)  Combine the chocolate chips and butter in a large bowl.

3)  Add the eggs, coconut palm sugar, cocoa powder, starch, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl.  Stir until well-combined (it will still be lumpy).

4)  Spread the mixture on the parchment paper.   Cook for 20-25 minutes.  It should feel firm to the touch.

5)  Allow to cool.

6)  Eat.  🙂
